You are cordially invited for the Opening Reception, Are We There Yet? to see the unveiling of our students' artwork brought to us by our amazing artists sponsored by Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. "Rush Philanthropic is dedicated to providing inner city youth across New York City with significant exposure to the arts, as well as to supporting emerging artists with exhibition opportunities.

Rush was founded in 1995 by three brothers: Danny Simmons, visual artist and community builder; media mogul Russell Simmons; and Joseph “Rev. Run” Simmons of the legendary hip-hop group Run-DMC. Their goal was to fill the gap that the disenfranchised and people of color faced in both accessing the arts and exhibition opportunities" www.rushphilanthropic.org.

A photographic exhibit shot by MS 226 students, is now on display in Terminal 4, JFK International Airport. The pictures depict nature scenes and were taken by eighth graders who took an elective from noted photographer Jeffrey Gamble. If you find yourself traveling in the near future, stop for a moment and take notice of the artistry done by our talented students.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 25 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents -- as well as millions more through television broadcasts. The Ailey Company is a part of the M.S. 226 family where they often perform for our students and help them choreograph dance moves and routines.
